Nothing is more important to us than the health and wellbeing of emergency services families
Who we are
Emergency Services Health is a not-for-profit private health insurance fund. This means that we’re run for the benefit of members and not driven by corporate investors or overseas owners demanding shareholder dividends. The fund is backed by Police Health, which for over 80 years has stood behind the policing community. We bring the quality cover only police officers and their families could previously access, to our colleagues in the Emergency Services.
Our vision is to enhance the physical and mental health and wellbeing of Australia’s Emergency Services community.
Our mission is to rally behind Australia’s Emergency Services community, providing support, information and health insurance products, and services designed exclusively for the needs of our members.
We understand what it’s like to do a job that impacts on your physical and mental health while you’re protecting our community. It’s why our products and services are designed with that in mind. Health insurance can be very confusing. We know our members appreciate that we keep it simple. With Emergency Services Health you only have to choose between our extras, hospital or combined products.
We’ve got your back.
We stand with the emergency services community in the face of uncertainty, both today and tomorrow.
Our passion drives us
